Randomness : unsexy pictures of me, and accordion and a cat
Maybe you already know that I've got a musically inclined cat. Yes, the one in the icon, Marmite. She's a strange one, raised by humans in a house full of dogs and always gave us the impression that she didn't really know much about being a cat.
Through the years, she learned to hunt and jump without bumping in the funiture and play and sort of look the part, mostly by looking at our other cat. She never really got the hang of grooming herself, though, and we always wondered if she wasn't a bit, well, strange, retarded maybe?
But there's an area where she's not only good, she's positively brilliant. It's when it comes to music appreciation. When I played Led Zeppelin DVDs, she would invariably come by and sniff at the loudspeakers. We finally determined that she had a thing for music vaguely mewling-like. And this is where my accordion and me come into play. These last months, she's been particularly friendly, and particularly when I was playing the accordion! If I play, she'll come closer, and if it a walz in A and E minor, she'll rub against the accordion and will try to climb me.
He're what it looks like in pictures, under a cut because I'm still somewhat self-conscious. Franck took the pictures and he tends to frame his photos strangely and I don't think I had even combed my hair that day. Also, it was cold! And you can see the mess behind where my painting things are. Ouch.
Sadly, the photographer, the camera noise and the flash made her behave, the second before she was pawing at the accordion...
I hope I'll get better pictures soon! After all, she comes nearly each time I play...
